LaurenceD SUBS 15th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Dan Murphy - The Dan Murphy Show	Boom Trenchard’s Flare Path was an airport-themed restaurant just east of Lindbergh Field in San Diego, active in the 1970s.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Hank Thompson With The Brazos Valley Boys - Most Of All (1960)	Added scans for cover back and labels; note that the two label scans { 2545149, 2545150 } are from the same disc.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Paul Robeson - Favorite Songs (1959)	Added scans for alternate front cover and labels. I don't know enough about the Monitor label to say which one might be an earlier pressing. Note to edlongus: I changed the release date - MP 580 was definitely released in 1959, not sure where the 1968 date came from... :-) Also set this as a mono release; there was a reprocessed stereo version (MPS/MFS 580) which may have appeared sometime later, not sure.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Dennis Farnon, Jim Backus, Daws Butler - Magoo In Hi-Fi (1957)	Re: my side 1 label scan (2545108); if you look closely, you can see the faint impression of a different label: Tommy Dorsey "Yes Indeed!" LPM-1229, side 2.
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album The Dave Brubeck Octet - Old Sounds From San Francisco (1954)	There are indeed 6 banded tracks on side 2, but the conflicting sleeve and label listings are somewhat confusing. I listed them as shown on the label, but upon listening: track 5 contains "You Go To My Head" and track 6 contains "Laura" plus the brief "Closing Theme". I'm still sorting out just which themes constitute track 4...
LaurenceD SUBS 31st Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Norman Granz Jazz At The Philharmonic Vol 15 (1953)	My copy is pressed in black vinyl; also released with blue vinyl. Original copies included a copy of the concert program (missing from mine).
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Wildcat (1960)	The Broadway production of Wildcat was beset with problems, mainly due to Lucille Ball's health. She clearly was not up to the rigor required for a lengthy run of a musical. Not to mention that she was not really a singer or a dancer... More can be read at Wikipedia and at NY Times.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Sam Cooke - Tribute To The Lady (1959)	I added scans of a very tattered cover (ouch!) along with promo labels
LaurenceD SUBS 17th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album The Jimi Hendrix Experience / Otis Redding - Historic Performances Recorded At The Monterey International Pop Festival (1970)	Added back cover scan with barcode; this corresponds to the label images { 2487398, 2487399 }
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Sam Cooke - Soul Collection (1985)	The box/slip-cover opens on the right side; The individual record sleeves seem to open on the left side, so I have ordered the sleeve images accordingly. Sorry but my copy is missing the obi.
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Frank Zappa - Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch (1987)	From what I can determine, this is a reissue of the remastered EMI release EMC 3501, ca. Feb 1986
LaurenceD SUBS 11th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Irmgard Seefried, Rita Streich, Richard Holm, Eberhard Waechter, Kurt Böhme, Chor Und Sinfonie-Orchester Des Bayerischen Rundunks, Eugen Jochum - Der Freischütz (1966)	Thanks jaimeeduardo, I was wondering about that. I will relocate those images soon.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Irmgard Seefried, Rita Streich, Richard Holm, Eberhard Waechter, Kurt Böhme, Chor Und Sinfonie-Orchester Des Bayerischen Rundunks, Eugen Jochum - Der Freischütz (1966)	Added additional scans from the box and booklet; plus one more cat# for the box set: 2707 009
LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Dec 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Dr. Demento Presents The Greatest Novelty Records Of All Time (1985)	Later pressings (1987 & later) replace the Rodney Dangerfield track on B1 with "Wet Dream" by Kip Addotta.
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Hans Conried, Dixieland All Stars Featuring Pee Wee Erwin - Peter Meets The Wolf In Dixieland (1959)	I had to clean up the top of the back cover - the previous owner wrote their name, address and phone number (at least there was no Social Security number) with a black marker. There are a few vestiges remaining... This seems to be the first Strand LP.
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Jimmy Smith - Live In Concert (1965)	I suspect that this was released in mid-1966, but cannot say with certainty. BTW that "enhanced" sticker on the cover looks like it was added as an afterthought.
LaurenceD SUBS 18th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Linda Hopkins - Sings Songs From The Broadway Musical Me And Bessie (1976)	Here is a link for those who haven't seen Linda being interviewed by SCTV's 'Brock Linehan'.
LaurenceD SUBS 18th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Ruby (1982)	This is the first set of episodes (with promos) of the radio program Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe from 1982. I had never heard of this series before, and I found it quite interesting. My copy was in a plain white cover; I don't know if any additional material was provided to broadcasters. On this disc, each promo runs around 20-25 seconds in length, and each episode tends to run around 3 minutes or less.
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album The Orlons - All The Hits By The Orlons (1962)	Release date estimated... could be late 1962
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Ketty Lester - Love Letters (1962)	No composer credits on cover or labels, only publishing info
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - February 9, 1971 (1972)	Of the KGIL news reporters listed, Howard Culver is probably the most recognizable, as he had a lengthy acting career, mostly in television. As far as the cat#, "1260" was the frequency of KGIL AM in those days
LaurenceD SUBS 10th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic (1980)	I've added scans from an early version of the MCA-37042 release. It has the Platinum Plus stamp on the cover with the MCA cat number, but the disc has the ABC AB-808 labels. I wasn't sure whether to create a separate entry for this pressing; if we think that would be better, I can do that and move my images over...
LaurenceD SUBS 4th Nov 2020		Vinyl Album Ophir State Marching Band - Ophir State Marching Band	Sort of a marching band equivalent of Jonathan And Darlene Edwards; that is to say, frequently and defiantly out of tune. This organization is still active, now known as Ophir Prison Marching Kazoo Band & Temperance Society, Lmtd. BTW, Ophir (Utah) is an old silver mining town southwest of Salt Lake City; considered a ghost town now, but still with some residents (less than 50).
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Buddy Hackett - The Original Chinese Waiter (1960)	This is a reissue of Dot DLP 3169 "Buddy Hackett", ca. 1959, but with the track order reshuffled. The track "The Original Chinese Waiter" is a different (longer) recording compared with the version released on the Coral single 9-61105
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Bill Medley - Nobody Knows (1970)	A couple of song title discrepancies between the cover and labels: - A4: cover = "Easy", label = "Evie" - B5: cover = "If This Were The Last Song", label = If This Was The Last Song" The labels appear to have the correct titles.
LaurenceD SUBS 8th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Mason Williams - Music By Mason Williams (1969)	Added cover front scan with sticker (on the shrink wrap); also side 1 label with different composer credit for track A3.
LaurenceD SUBS 4th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The Now Sound! (1968)	This was issued with a number of different brand names on the back cover; mine happens to have Playtex.
LaurenceD SUBS 4th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album The Dynatones Featuring Charlie Musselwhite - Curtain Call (1982)	Pretty sure that drummer "Walter Shuffelsworth" is the same guy as Walter Salwitz Jr., drummer for the later Dynatones lineup - looks like he was the lone holdover from this version of the band. The Belly Up was/is located in Solana Beach. I did see Charlie Musselwhite perform there at a later date (with a different backing group).
LaurenceD SUBS 4th Oct 2020		Vinyl Album The Mamas And The Papas - A Gathering Of Flowers (1970)	I have the boxed release - the cover and labels are the same (the lyrics printed inside the box are identical to edlongus' gatefold scans), so... I added scans of the 16 booklet pages.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Vido Musso - The Swingin'st (1957)	This is probably the most 'pimply' LP in my entire collection - but at least it is playable, albeit being rather noisy.
